on account of neither a need that You may have for it

وَلاَ رَغْبَةٍ مِنْكَ فِيهَا
wa la raghbatin minka fiha
nor a desire that You may have for it;

إِلاَّ تَعْظِيمَاً وَطَاعَةً

وَإِجَابَةً لَكَ إِلَىٰ مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ

and response to You to carry out what You have ordered me to do.

whether in the genuflection or the prostration;

rather, confer upon me with Your acceptance (of it) and forgiveness (of me).

14.It is narrated in an inscription handwritten by Shaykh al-Shahid
that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Whoever desires that Almighty Allah will not show him his evildoings (that he did in this world) on the Resurrection Day and will not open the record of his evildoings, should say the following prayer after each obligatory prayer:
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ مَغْفِرَتَكَ أَرْجَىٰ مِنْ عَمَلِي
allahumma inna maghfirataka arja min `amali
O Allah, Truly, I hope for Your forgiveness more than I trust my deed.

وَإِنَّ رَحْمَتِكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَنْبِي
wa inna rahmataka awsa`u min dhanbi
Your mercy is verily more expansive than my sin.

اَللَّهُمَّ إنْ كَانَ ذَنبِي عِنْدَكَ عَظِيماً
allahumma in kana dhanbi `indaka `aziman
O Allah, If my sin is grave in Your view,

فَعَفْوُكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَنْبِي
fa`afwuka a`zamu min dhanbi
then Your pardon is greater than my sin.

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَهْلاً أَنْ أَبْلُغَ رَحْمَتَكَ
allahumma in lam akun ahlan an ablugha rahmataka
O Allah, If I do not deserve to attain Your mercy,

فَرَحْمَتُكَ أَهْلٌ أَنْ تَبْلُغَنِي وَتَسَعَنِي
farahmatuka ahlun an tablughani wa tasa`ani
then Your mercy is so liberal that it can reach and include me,

لِأَنَّهَا وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ
li-annaha wasi`at kulla shay'in
because it has included all things;

بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمينَ
birahmatika ya arhama alrrahimina
[Let it be] by Your mercy; O most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِيْ لِلهِ وَ الْـحَمْدُ لِلهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلهِ وَ لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللهُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ وَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلٰى مُـحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ النَّبِيِّ الْعَرَبِيِّ الْهَاشِمِيِّ وَ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلٰی جَمِيْعِ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ وَ النَّبِيِّيْنَ حَتّٰى يَرْضَى اللهُ.
subhaanal laahe kamaa yanbaghee lillaahe wal hamdo lillaahe kamaa yanbaghee lillaahe wa laa elaaha illal laaho kamaa yanbaghee lillaahe wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaahe wa sallal laaho a’laa mohammadin nabiyye wa ahle baytehin nabiyyil a’rabiyyil haashemiyye wa sallal laaho a’laa jamee-i’l mursaleena wan nabiyyeena hattaa yarzal laah.
Glory be to Allah as it should be due for Allah and praise be to Allah as it should be due for Allah and there is no god but Allah as it should be due for Allah and there are no means and no power without Allah and salutation of Allah upon Muhammad, the Prophet and the progeny of Prophet, the Arab, the Hashmite and salutation of Allah upon all the messengers and the prophets till Allah is satisfied.
In "Tuhfatu Ridawiyah" he said: Allamah Taqi, Sayyid Mirza Hasan bn Sayyid Mirza Ali Agha Shirazi told me of the following supplication, he mentioned that it was from the proof (may Allah hasten his relief) and some pious scholars has also narrated it. He said: you recite it after every day compulsory prayers and at any other time, it suffices you in your important requests and makes you reach your goal.
يا مَنْ إِذا تَضايَقَتِ الْاُمُورُ فَتَحَ لَها باباً لَمْ تَذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ الْأَوْهامُ ، صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَافْتَحْ لِاُمُورِي الْمُتَضايِقَةِ باباً لَمْ يَذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ وَهْمٌ يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ .
O' He when the affairs has become difficult He opens ways we didn't imagine, so send Your blessing on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, open ways out of my difficulties that I didn't imagine, O' the Most Merciful of the merciful.

22.Supplications after Every Obligatory Prayers 82 Rabeeul Anaam Fi Adeea-e-Khairil Anaam
The author of Mikyaal al-Makaarim writes, “There are times and occasions in which supplications for the hidden Imam, Hazrat Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) have been emphasized, asking Allah for his early reappearance, and these have been supported by Quranic verses, traditions and the intellect. There are numerous invocations, narrated on the authority of the infallible Imams (a.s.) in this regard. A few of them we shall mention hereunder:
i)Supplications after Every Obligatory Prayer
 Shaykh Saduq (a.r.), in “ مَنْ لَ يَحْضُرُهُ الْفَقِيهْ ” narrates from the ninth Imam, Muhammad al-Jawad (a.s.), the following supplication:
رَضِيْتُ بِالِ رَبّا وَ بِاْلِسْلَمِ دِيْنًا وَ بِالْقُرْآنِ كِتَابًا وَ بِمُحَمّدٍ صَلّی الُ عَلَيْهِ
وَ آلِهكِ وَ سكَلّمْ نَبِي اَ وَ بِعَلٰى وَ لِي اَ،
وَ بِالْحَسكَنِ وَ الْحُسكَيْنِ وَ عَلٰى بْنكِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمّدِ بْنِ عَلٰى وَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمّدٍ وَ مُوسَی بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَ عَلٰى وَ الْحُجّةِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلٰى عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسّلَمُ اَئِمّةً.
اََللّهُمّ وَلِيّكَ الْحُجّةُ،
فَاحْفَظْهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِيْنِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِ هِ وَ مِ نْ فَوْقِ هِ وَ مِ نْ تَحْتِ هِ،
وَ اُمْدُدْ لَ هُ فِ يْ عُمُرِ هِ،
وَ اجْعَلْ هُ الْقَائِ مَ بِاَمْرِ كَ الْمُنْتَصِرَ لِدِيْنِكَ،
وَ اَرِ هِ م اَ يُحِب وَ تَقَرّبِهِ عَيْنُهُ فِ يْ نَفْسِهِ وَ فِ يْ ذُرّيّتِهِ وَ اَهْلِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ فِيْ شِيْعَتِهِ وَ فِيْ عَدُوّهِ،
وَ اَرِهِمْ مِنْهُ مَا يَحْذَرُوْنَ،
وَ اَرِهِ فِيْهِمْ ماَ يُحِب و تَقَرّبِهِ عَيْنُهُ،
وَ اشْفِ بِهِ صُدُوْرَنَا وَ صُدُوْرَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِيْنَ.
ii)Invocation for the renewal of allegiance for Imam-e-zamaan (a.t.f.s.) after every obligatory daily prayers: Allama Majlisi in Behaar al-Anwaar, narrates from the book, “Al- Ikhteyaar” of Sayyed Ibn Baaqi, that Imam Sadeq (a.s.) said, “One who recites this supplication after every obligatory daily prayers, then he will certainly get the privilege of seeing Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.), in sleep or otherwise.
بِسْمِ الِ الرّحْمٰنِ الرّحِيْمِ،
اََللّهُمّ بَلّغْ مَوْلَنَا صَاحِبَ الزّمَانِ،
اَيْنَمَا كَانَ وَ حَيْثُمَا كَانَ،
مِنْ مَشَارِقِ اْلَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا، سَهْلِهَا وَ جَبَلِهَا،
عَنّىْ وَ عَنْ وَ الِدَىّ وَ عَنْ وَ لْدىِْ وَ اِخْوَ انِىْ التّحِيّةَ وَ السّلَمَ،
عَدَدَ خَلْقِ ال وَ زِنَةَ عَرْشِ الِ وَ مَا اَحْصَاهُ كِتَابُهُ وَ اَحَاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُهُ.
اََللّهُم اِنّىْ اُجَدّدُ لَ هُ فِ يْ صَبِيْحَةِ هٰذَا الْيَوْ مِ وَ م اَ عِشْتُ فِيْ هِ مِ نْ اَي اَ مِ حَيَاتِىْ،
عَهْدًا وَ عَقْدًا وَ بَيْعَةً لَهُ فِيْ عُنُقِىْ،
لَ اَحُوْلُ عَنْهَا وَ لَ اَزُوْلُ اَبَدًا.
اََللّهُمّ اجْعَلْنِىْ مِنْ اَنْصَارِهِ وَ الذّابّيْنَ عَنْهُ،
وَ الْمُمْتَثِلِيْنَ لَوَ امِرِهِ وَ نَوَ اهِيْهِ فِيْ اَيَا مِهِ،
وَ الْمُسْتَشْهَدِينَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ.
اََللّهُمّ اِنْ حَالَ بَيْنِىْ وَ بَيْنَهُ الْمَوْتُ الّذِىْ جَعَلْتَهُ عَلٰی عِبَادِكَ حَتْمًا مَقْضِيَا،
فَاَخْرِجْنِىْ مِنكْ قَبْرِىْ، مُؤْتَزِرًا كَفَنِىْ، شَاهِرًا سكَيْفِيْ،
مُجَرّدًا قَنَاتِىْ، مُلَبّي اَدَعْوَ ةَ الدّاعِىْ فِيْ الْحَاضِرِ وَ الْبَادِىْ.
اََللّهُمّ اَرِنِىْ الطّلْعَةَ الرّشِيْدَةَ وَ الْغُرّةَ الْحَمِيْدَةَ،
وَ اکْحُلْ بَصَرىِْ بِنَظْرَةٍ مِنّىِ اِلَيْهِ،
وَ عَجّلْ فَرَجَهُ وَ سَهّلْ مَخْرَجَهُ.
اََللّهُمّ اشْدُدْ اَزْرَهُ وَ قَوَ ظَهْرَهُ وَ طَوَ لْ عُمْرَهُ،
وَ اعْمُرِ اللّهُمّ بِهِ بِلَدَكَ وَ اَحْىِ بِ هِ عِبَادَ كَ، فَاِنّكَ قُلْتَ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَق :ّ ’’ظَهَرَ الْفَ سَادُ فِ يْ الْبَرّ وَ الْبَحْرِ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ اَيْدِىْ النّاسِ.‘‘
فَاَظْهِرِ اللّهُمّ لَنَا وَلِيّكَ وَ ابْنَ بِنْتِ نَبِيّكَ،
الْمُسَمّیٰ بِاسْمِ رَسُولِكَ صَلّی ال عَلَيْ هِ وَ آلِ هِ،
حَتّ یٰ لَ يَظْفَرَ بِشَیْءٍ مِ نَ الْبَاطِلِ اِلّ مَزّقَ هُ وَ يُحِق ال الْحَقّ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَ يُحَقّقَهُ.
اََللّهُمّ اکْشِفْ هٰذِهِ الْغُمّةَ عَنْ هٰذِهِ اْلُمّةِ بِظُهُوْرِهِ،
اِنّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيْدًا وَ نَرَاهُقَرِيْبًا،
وَ صَلّی ال عَلٰی مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِهِ.

iii)Supplication Enhances Longevity
 Among the deeds that are stressed upon, is to pray for the early reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) after every obligatory prayer. The author of Mikyaal al-Makaarim has supported this idea with the help of the following tradition which says, “Whoever recites the following invocation after every obligatory prayer, his life will be prolonged till he sees Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.).”
اََللّهُم صكَلّ عَل یٰ مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمّدٍ،
اََللّهُم اِن رَسكُولَكَ الصكّادِقَ الْمُصَدّقَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ اِنّكَ قُلْتُ: ’’مَا تَرَدّدْتُ فِيْ شَىْءٍ اَنَا فَاعِلُهُ كَتَرَدّدىِْ فِيْ قَبْضِ رُوْحِ عَبْدِىَ الْمُؤْمِنِ،
يَکْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ وَ اَنا اَکْرَهُ مَسَائَتَهُ.‘‘
اََللّهُمّ فَصَلّ عَلٰی مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمّدٍ،
وَ عَجّلْ لَوْلِيَائِكَ الْفَرْجَ وَ النّصْرَ وَ الْعَافِيْةَ،
وَ لَ تَسُوْنِىْ نَفْسِىْ وَ لَ فِيْ فُلنٍ.
قَالَ )عليه السلم(: وَ تَذْکُرُ مَنْ شِئْتَ.

1 Mikyaal al-Makaarim, vol. 2, p. 4; Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 86, p. 61 narrating from Ikhteyaar of Ibn al-Baaqee.
iv ) Another Invocation for Longevity
 Allama Majlisi, in Kitab al-Salaat of Behaar al-Anwaar, narrates from “Falaah al-Saael” of the renowned scholar, Sayed Ibn Tawoos, who writes, “Abu Muhammad Haroon Ibn Musa relates from Abu al-Hasan Ali Ibn Yaqub al-Ajali al-Kesaai, from Ali Ibn al-Hasan Ibn Fazaalah, from Ja’far Ibn Muhammad Ibn Hakeem, from Jameel Ibn Darraaj, who recounts, “ A man came to the presence of Imam Sadeq (a.s.) and said, “O Master! I have become old and my relatives have died. I am afraid that I too may become a victim of the clutches of death while I don’t have anybody with whom I am acquainted and can refer to him.” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Surely among your believing brothers, there is somebody who is very close to you in relation. Your closeness with him is to the extent of intimacy. Yet, it is necessary that after every prayer, you recite the following supplication:
اََللّهُم صَلّ عَلٰی مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمّدٍ،
اََللّهُم اِن ال صّادِقَ عَلَيْ هِ اَل سّلَمُ قَالَ: اِنّكَ قُلْتُ:
’’مَا تَرَدّدْتُ فِيْ شَیْءٍ اَنَا فَاعِلُهُ كَتَرَدّدىِْ فِيْ قَبْضِ رُوْحِ عَبْدِىَ الْمُؤْمِنِ، يَکْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ وَ اَکْرَهُ مَسَائَتَهُ.‘‘
اََللّهُمّ فَصَلّ عَلٰی مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمّدٍ وَ عَجّلْ لِوَلِيّكَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِيْةَ وَ النّصْرَ،
وَ لَ تَسُؤْنِىْ فِيْ نَفْسِىْ وَ لَ فِيْ اَحَدٍ مِنْ اَحِبّتِىْ.
If you want name them one by one, if you wish, name them separately or if you so desire, name them together.” The man said, “By Allah! I lived my life to the fullest.”
v) Supplication of Revenge ( (النتقام
 Imam Sadeq (a.s.) says, “Among our rights on our Shias is that they hold their beards and say after every obligatory prayer thrice,
ي اَ رَب مُحَمّدٍ، عَجّلْ فَرَجكَ آلِ مُحَمّدٍ، ي اَ رَب مُحَمّدٍ،
اِحْفَظكْ غَيْبَةَ مُحَمّدٍ، يَا رَبّ مُحَمّدٍ،
اِنْتَقِمْ لِبْنَةِ مُحَمّدٍ صَلّی الُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلّمَ.

vi)Supplications During and After Prayers 87
عَلَنِيَةٌ، اَىْ مُبْدِئُ اَىْ مُعِيْدُ.
اَ سْئَلَكَ بِحَقّكَ عَلٰى خِيَرَتِكَ مِ نْ خَلْقِكَ،
وَ بِحَقّهِ مُ الّذِىْ اَوْجَبْتَ لَهُ مْعَلٰی نَفْ سِكَ،
اَ نْ تُ صَلّىَ عَلٰی مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمّدٍ اَهْلِ بَيْتِ هِ،
وَ اَ نْ تَمُن عَلٰى السّاعَةَ بِفَكَاكِ رَقَبَتِىْ مِنَ النّارِ،
وَ اَنْجِزْ لِوَلِيّكَ وَ ابْنِ نَبِيّكَ،
الدّاعِىْ اِلَيْكَ بِاِذْنِكَ وَ اَمِيْنِكَ فِ يْ خَلْقِكَ وَ عَيْنِكَ فِ يْ عِبَادِ كَ وَ حُجّتِكَ عَلٰی خَلْقِكَ عَلَيْهِ صَلَوَاتُكَ وَ بَرَكَاتُكَ وَ عْدَهَ،
اََللّهُم اَيّدْهُ بِنَصْرِكَ،
وَ انْصُرْعَبْدَكَ وَ قَوّ اَصْحَابَهُ وَ صَبّرَهُمْ،
وَ افْتَحْ لَهُمْ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطانًا نَصِيْرًا،
وَ عَجّلْ فَرْجَهُ وَ اَمْكَنَهُ مِنْ اَعْدَائِكَ وَ اَعْدَاءِ رَسُولِكَ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمِيْنَ.
The narrator asked, “May I be sacrificed for you, have you not prayed for yourself?’ He (a.s.) replied, ‘I have prayed for the light of Ale Muhammad (a.s.), the first of them, and the avenger of their enemies by the command of Allah…”

vii)Supplications During and After Prayers 89
 I asked, “Whom are you praying for?’ He (a.s.) replied,“It was for al-Mahdi from the progeny of Muhammad.”
Then he (a.s.) said,
بِاَبِْ الْمُنْتَدَحُ الْبَطْنِ، اَلْمَقْرُوْنُ الْحَاجِبَيْنِ،
اَحْمَشُ السّاقَيْنِ، بَعِيدُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ، اَسْمَرُ اللّوْنِ، يَعْتَوْرُهُ مَعَ سُمْرَتِهِ صُفْرَةٌ مِنْ سَهَرَ اللّيْلِ،
بِاَبِیْ مِنْ لَيْلَةِ يُرْعٰی النّجُوْمُ سَاجِدًا وَ رَاكِعًا.
بِاَبِیْ مَنْ لَ يَا خُذُهُ فِی الِ لَوْمَةُ لَئِمٍ، مِصْبَاحُ الدّجٰی. بِاَبِیْ الْقَائِمِ بِاَمْرِ الِ.
اَلْحَدِيْثُ.

Twelfth: Al-Barqi, through an authenticated narration, reported Imam al-Sadiq (a. s. ) as saying, “Whoever repeats ten times the following statement after accomplishing his prayer and before moving his knees from their position, Almighty Allah will erase many of his sins, record for him rewards, and he will be regarded as having recited the Holy Qur’an entirely twelve times.
اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لا اِلهَ اِلا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ
اِلها واحِدا اَحَدا صَمَدا لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صاحِبَةً وَلا وَلَدا.
Very much more merits have been reported for uttering this statement of professing Almighty Allah being the One and Only God (i. e. Tahlil) , especially after the Dawn and Evening Prayers and at sunrise and sunset.
Thirteenth: Al-Kulayni, Ibn Baabwayh, and others have reported through authentic chains of authority that Imam al-Sadiq (a. s. ) said, “Archangel Gabriel came to Prophet Joseph (a. s. ) who was in the prison and taught him to say the following supplicatory prayer after each prayer:
اَللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لى فَرَجا وَمَخْرَجا
وَارْزُقْنى مِنْ حَيْثُ اَحْتَسِبُ وَمِنْ حَيْثُ لا اَحْتَسِبُ
Fourteenth: It is mentioned in the book of al-Balad al-Amin that the Holy Prophet (s. a. w. a. ) said, “He who wishes that Almighty Allah will not stop him on the Resurrection Day for the evil deeds that he has done and that Almighty Allah will not open his record of deeds, may say this supplicatory prayer after every ritual prayer:
اَللّهُمَّ اِنَّ مَغْفِرَتَكَ اَرْجى مِنْ عَمَلى وَاِنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ اَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَنْبى
اَللّهُمَّ اِنْ كانَ ذَنْبى عِنْدَكَ عَظيما فَعَفْوُكَ اَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَنْبى
اَللّهُمَّ اِنْ لَمْ اَكُنْ اَهْلا اَنْ تَرْحَمَنى فَرَحْمَتُكَ اَهْلٌ اَنْ تَبْلُغَنى وَتَسَعَنى
لاَِنَّها وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا اَرْحَمَ الرّحِمينَ

Fifteenth: Al-Kaf’ami reports that a man complained to the Holy Prophet (s. a. w. a. ) about his ailment and poverty. The Holy Prophet (s. a. w. a. ) therefore taught him to say the following statement after the obligatory prayers:
تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَىِّ الَّذى لا يَمُوتُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذى لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صاحِبَةً
وَلا وَلَدا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَريكٌ فِى الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِىُّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبيرا.


According to another report, the Holy Prophet (s. a. w. a. ) said, “Whenever a tribulation afflicted me, Archangel Gabriel would come to me and instruct me to say these words. ” According to other validly reported traditions, this doxology may be repeated for fending off evil inspirations, settling debts, and saving from poverty. According to other traditions, the following statement precedes the doxology involved:
لاحَوْلَ وَلاقُوَّةَ اِلاّ بِاللَّهِ.
Sixteenth: In his book of al-Muqni’ah, Shaykh al-Mufid has mentioned the following supplicatory prayer to be said after every prayer:
اَللّهُمَّ انْفَعْنا بِالْعِلْمِ وَزَيِّنّا بِالْحِلْمِ وَجَمِّلْنا بِالْعافِيَةِ وَكَرِّمْنا بِالتَّقْوى
اِنَّ وَلِيِّىَ اللَّهُ الَّذى نَزَّلَ الْكِتابَ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصّالِحينَ
Seventeenth: Al-Tusi, Ibn Baabwayh, and others have reported through valid chains of authority that Imam AliAmeer al-Momineen (a. s. ) said, “Whoever wishes that he leaves this worldly life as pure of sins as untainted gold and none will demand him to be sued for a wrongdoing, must recite twelve times after each of the five obligatory prayers the Chapter that describes Almighty Allah; namely, Surah al-Tawheed. He may then stretch his hand and pray Almighty Allah with this supplicatory prayer, which is one of the redeeming matters that Allah’s Messenger (s. a. w. a. ) taught and ordered me to convey to al-Hasan and al-Husayn (a. s. ) :
اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَسْئَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْنُونِ الْمَخْزُونِ الطّاهِرِ الطُّهْرِ الْمُبارَكِ
وَاَسْئَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظيمِ وَسُلْطانِكَ الْقَديمِ يا واهِبَ الْعَطايا يا مُطْلِقَ الاُْسارى
يا فَكّاكَ الرِّقابِ مِنَ النّارِ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَفُكَّ رَقَبَتى مِنَ النّارِ
وَاَخْرِجْنى مِنَ الدُّنْيا آمِنا وَاَدْخِلْنِى الْجَنَّةَ سالِما وَاجْعَلْ دُعآئى اَوَّلَهُ فَلاحاً
وَاَوْسَطَهُ نَجاحا وَآخِرَهُ صَلاحا اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ عَلاّمُ الْغُيُوبِ
يا فَكّاكَ الرِّقابِ مِنَ النّارِ اَسْئَلُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
The same supplicatory prayer in other validly reported copies of the tradition is as follows:
وَاَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَتى مِنَ النّارِ وَاَنْ تُخْرَجَنى مِنَ الدُّنْيا سالِما وَتُدْخِلَنِى الْجَنَّةَ آمِنا
وَاَنْ تَجْعَلَ دُعآئى اَوَّلَهُ فَلاحا وَاَوْسَطَهُ نَجاحا وَآخِرَهُ صَلاحا اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ عَلاّمُ الْغُيُوبِ
